The second underlined post is a response from a CURRENT Simpsons writer/director, from his AMA.
Simpsons staff don't know or care about the Simpsons, can you really say you're surprised?
I don't get the reference but Simpsons is fucking shit so who cares. If that is a screenshot of your desktop you should consider ending it.
>implying people who write for modern Simpsons actually like The Simpsons
jesus fucking christ
>he didn't get a reference to a line written 20 years ago from a show with well over 600 episodes
The Simpsons is known for hiring Ivy League shitters who have never watched a cartoon in their lifetimes to write for the show. I doubt there is a single current writer who has watched more than 10% of the episodes.

It's one of the classic Simpsons lines. It's like forgetting "dental plan".

Someone care to explain? I havent watched Simpsons in ages and dont remember that particular scene.
I assume the joke is that a current producer doesnt get a joke that his predecessors made but Im afraid if thats the case I dont get it either...

>two words that became a meme are the exact same as a long fucking joke that was based on actual questions the writers received and still currently receive on a day-to-day basis
>>69181625
it's from the itchy scratchy and poochie show
they're at a q&a and a nerd as that stupid specific question
>>69181521
but they've always had ivy league shitters. conan was an ivy league shitter
>>69181612
Only among internet nerds. It's not that memorable of a line, dude.
>>69181625
Except he's been with the show since Season 2, so it's just that it's hard to remember something you made 20 years ago word-for-word when you've made 600 of them

It's a pretty well known line. But more than likely he's pulling a funny by subverting your expectations. By answering a fictitious question with a well-known response honestly he's in turn making a joke.
Otherwise it'd be a tired, played out reference only meant for karma whores, such as whoever posted the first part in the first place.

>Simpsons is fucking shit so who cares
clearly you do because you're responding
>sperging over some notes

Ah thank you very much. I remember watching that episode but not that particular joke.
Though I agree that this could probably happen to Groening himself...
>>69181744
Wait, Homer used to be witty?

but coco was good

Fucking kill youself, you colossal faggot.
>>69181517
If a huge amount of people can remember it just from watching it, you'd think someone who works on the show for a living would recall it too
>>69181517
It's literally his fucking job to know everything about the Simpsons. How can he write new material if he doesn't even know what's been done before?
>>69181196
I don't get it
